SAFE 04/13/15 – ZILLA – A1032424 – MANHATTAN, NY
Safe 4-13-2015 Manhattan
***SAFER – NEW HOPE ONLY***Zilla is onlly 10-months old and already he’s in a circumstance that will end in his death tomorrow unless a miracle happens for him. Zilla is a Rottweiler weighing a substantial 77-pounds. Poor Zilla is totally out of his comfort zone in the Manhattan shelter. You see he was bred at home and he was never properly socialized. He’s lived with a small dog who his previous owner said beats up on Zilla. He’s never been exposed to cats or small children so Z is a rescue only adoption, should you be interested. Zilla is a big baby who frequently has potty accidents at home. When examined at the shelter, Zilla shrinks, tucking his tail as if to make himself as small as possible. Please don’t let this frightened young boy die in terror tomorrow. Zilla needs to decompress, but we believe he will be an extraordinary dog once he’s given a chance. Please save Zilla.
